Overview
- Liverpool’s defeat at Old Trafford on Sunday saw Manchester United lead 2-0 at half-time through Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko before Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo leveled it, with Kobbie Mainoo scoring the 77th‑minute winner.
- Ibrahima Konate said the half-time message focused on changing mentality and winning individual duels after United won most 50-50 challenges in the first half.
- He called the result a missed chance, saying Liverpool started poorly, improved after the break, but lacked the extra edge to turn the comeback into a win.
- The center-back urged a quick response with Chelsea next at Anfield, then Aston Villa and Brentford, in a trio of games he said will shape their Champions League hopes.
- Local reporting described the setback as Liverpool’s 18th defeat across all competitions this season, underscoring a campaign of uneven form under manager Arne Slot.
